The
Satanic Jacobin clubs at work to Overthrow the Government.
Under the above caption the New York Herald, of the
9th inst., has a scathing editorial, from which we make the following extract:
We learn from the Boston Liberator that a meeting
was held in Massachusetts of a Jacobin revolutionary club to
"supersede" the President, as was recommended in the beginning of the
war by the "Little Villain" of the New York Times, and he has been
openly threatened by the Tribune and other Abolition journals frequently since.
The Government has been also warned publicly by audacious demagogues in
Congress and by itinerant lecturers that it stands upon a precipice, liable to
be dashed to pieces at any moment unless it will yield to their fanatical one
idea. Intimations of an equally menacing nature have been made in secret to the
President and his Cabinet by the leaders of the Jacobin clubs. The object of
these threats is to intimidate the President into a compliance with their
infamous demands.
One portion of the agencies used by the clubs is the
manufacture of public opinion by means of lectures in favor of their
revolutionary views, and instilling them among the generals and subordinate
officers of the army, in order to corrupt their minds, and render them disloyal
to the government and the constitution. Washington has been specially selected
for the purpose, and the Smithsonian Institute is prostituted to the treason.
Already Brownson, Channing, Sumner, and Greeley have lectured, and the next, is
to be Cheever, then Beecher, Curtis, and Wendell Phillips. Such are the
dyed-in-the-wool abolition propagandists who, at the very seat of government,
are tainting the army and its officers with their revolutionary ideas.
